7.8 Improving CDE Application Performance

Tip

How do I improve the performance
of CDE applications in the GNOME 2.0 Desktop?

Action

By default the following
CDE programs are turned off when you log in to a GNOME Desktop session:

dtdbcache

dtdbcache sets up a cache to speed up CDE programs
that use actions such as dtfile. If this cache is not
set up, CDE applications that use actions run more slowly. To turn this feature
back on, you can start this program manually or by launching the program from
a startup script. Perform the following actions:

Log in as root, then open the following file: /usr/dt/config/Xsession.Sun-gnome-2.0–fcs

Delete the following line: export SDT_NO_DTDBCACHE="1"

ttsession

ttsession is the Tooltalk
daemon. In CDE, this program is always launched when the user first logs in.
In the GNOME 2.0 Desktop, this daemon is started automatically by the first
program that makes use of Tooltalk. You can restore
the CDE behavior by using a startup script. Perform the following actions:

Log in as root, then open the following file: /usr/dt/config/Xsession.Sun-gnome-2.0-fcs

Delete the following line: export SDT_NO_TOOLTALK="1"

dtappgather

dtappgather is a support program for the CDE Application Manager. Normally, you do not need to run this
program in a GNOME Desktop session. However, if you want to run this program,
then you can start dtappgather manually or by launching
the program from a startup script. Perform the following actions:

Log in as root, then open the following file: /usr/dt/config/Xsession.Sun-gnome-2.0-fcs
